Favorite BBC movies?

I love the A&E/BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth! Also, A&E’s movie about Victoria and Albert (with Jonathan Firth) is good, but I’m not sure if it’s out on DVD. Masterpiece Theatre has also had some good adaptations of Jane Austen’s books and Jane Eyre (or was that A&E too)?

Hi, jujst a quick note, unfortunately my daughter has had some complications from her surgery yesterday and we are off to the hospital again to get her checked out – I am just waiting for my husband to come from work.  If things go well, I will give this post some thought and put some things together, if I cannot, please forgive me.  One word of warning about the BBC of today – they have become rather a shadow of their former selves and some of their newer movies are a lot racier than of old.  They still do wonderful programs, but you have to be careful – it seems modern audiences are wanting more flesh and they are supplying it sadly.  Still you cannot go wrong with the older ones, unless the content of the movie is of a sort that you do not like.  I know that some people do not like talking animals and such like, so would not like an off the top of my head suggestion, but we loved the DVD film of Graham’s Wind in the Willows, it is enchanting and I still watch it now as an adult.  I am loathe in some ways to suggest some titles because a lot of classic British literature had quite racey themes, adultery and such like – and as I don’t know what people consider appropriate in their own homes, it is a bit of a minefield making suggestions.  I don’t censor too much storyline, though I try and avoid nudity and overt scenes in that manner and also avoid too much violent content – however when I have a minute I will look through my collection and see what I have.  As an adult my daughters and I have enjoyed Brideshead Revisted, the older version, though it is not for children (my daughters are older teens).  OOps husband is here, I must go – I would appreciate a prayer for my daughters recovery if anyone has time.  More later.  Blessings – Linda

We’re praying for you and your precious daughter, Linda. 

Just an update, we have just brought our daughter home from the hospital, but she is in a fragile state, so I will be spending some time nurturing her back to health, it has been and is a worrying time – I do appreciate the prayers very much and thank you all.  I will check the site now and then as I do enjoy reading the posts, but my heart and head at the moment are with my daughter and the rest of our family – so I won’t be doing much posting.  I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving with good health and good company.  Bless you all – Linda
